"Yeah" Will says as he sits down in a chair at the table and Joyce feels his forehead
"Alright. Okay, let me" Joyce she says as she takes his temperature
"Is it hot?" you ask standing behind Will
"No, uh, actually, it's cold" she tells her
"Cold? Do you feel cold?" you ask Will
"No. Just a little out of it. Like i haven't really woken up yet" he tells you and Joyce looks at him worried "You promised no doctor"
"And i meant it. No doctor" she says
You then place your hands on Wills shoulders but immediately freeze up as you get a small vision.
Images run through your mind but stops on one. It's the shadow monster standing over Will making you gasp and open your eyes to see Joyce looking at you worried as you take your hands off of Wills shoulders.
"Sweetheart? Are you okay?" Joyce says as you take a deep breath
"I'm okay. Um, i'm going to run Will a bath" you say and begin to walk away
"(y/n)" Joyce says making you stop and turn to her "You have some blood" she says pointing to under your noise
"Thank you" you whisper wiping it away
You then move to the bathroom and start to run the bath nice and warm for him. You then go back into the kitchen telling Will that his bath is ready.
"What happened? It's like you went somewhere" Joyce says as the two sit down at the table while Will takes his bath
"I saw what happened to him on the field. It was like that thing was trying to take over him" you tell her
"Oh, my god" Joyce says with a hand on her head
"(y/n)" Will says walking out of the bathroom in a towel
"Yeah, bub, what's wrong?" you ask him
"It's too hot" he says making you look at him confused
You and Joyce go back into the bathroom as Will is following them to see the bath is unplugged and the water is draining.
"I can cool it down a little bit. But we gotta get your body temp back up" Joyce tells him as she feels the water
"No" Will says and she stops to look at him
"What?" Joyce asks him as she stands back up
"He likes it cold"

"Hello?" Hopper calls out walking through the front door
"Leave it open" Joyce says as you walk behind her over to Hopper
"Where have you been?" you ask him
"I overslept. What the hells going on? It's freezing" he says and Joyce waves for him to follow her and they walk down to Wills room
"Hey, knock, knock" she says knocking at his door opening it to see Will sitting on his bed with just pants on"You have a visitor"
"So this thing, this shadow thing. You told your mum and sister it likes it cold?" Hopper asks Will as they show him the drawing of the shadow monster
"Yeah" Will answers
"How do you know that?" he asks
"I just know" Will tells him
"Does he talk to you?" Hopper asks
"No. It's like... I don't have to think. I just know things now. Things i never did before" Will explains and Hopper stands up
"And, uh... what else do you know?" Hopper asks as he sits down in the desk chair
"It's hard to explain. It's like old memories in the back of my head, only... they're not my memories" Will explains
"Okay"
"I mean. I don't think they're old memories at all. They're... they're now memories, happening all at once, now" Will explains almost crying
"Can you describe these new memories?" Hopper asks
"I don't know. It's... It's hard to explain" Will says
"I know it's hard but can you just... Can you try? For us?" Joyce asks him
"It's like... They're growing and spreading...killing" Will says almost crying and you grab his hand with Will gripping onto it tightly
"The memories?" you ask him
"I don't know" Will says as the tears start falling down his face "Sorry" he says pulling his head in your neck and you wrap your arms around him
"No, oh, bubba. It's okay" you say holding him tighter as he lets out a sob
"Hey, hey, sweetie, what if you didn't have to use words?" Joyce asks him and he moves his head out of his sisters neck
Will now sits at his desk with lots of papers around him as he draws what he is seeing.
"It's all the same thing" you say walking into the living room where Joyce and Hopper are sitting with all the of the drawings
"Oh, it's nothing. It's just scribbles" Hopper says as you drop one more to the pile
"Wait!" Joyce says
"What? What?"
"Wait. Here's black lines, see?" she says grabbing one of the papers and making them line up
"What?" Hopper asks again
"They connect" you say understanding what Joyce is saying
"They connect"
The three of them all move the furniture out of the way so they have more room to work with. They start to pile together the same colour papers then slowly putting them together like a puzzle.
"Does this mean anything to you guys?" Hopper asks the two
"No" they answer
"I mean, is it some sort of maze or a road? I mean it's sort of forming and branching like lighting" Joyce says as they walk around
"Do you think it's the storm?" he asks her
"No, the storm he grew was completely different. He used red. And this is all blue and has some weird dirt colour. I mean, maybe it's roots. Cause remember, he was saying it was spreading and-" Joyce tells him
"Killing" you say cutting them off "He said they were killing"
"He's drawing vines"
